- a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor protects neurons from damage or death from apoptosis resulting from HIV infection based on the following findings. All publications recited herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- gp120 proteins from HIV-1 can signal directly via chemokine receptors on neuronal cell lines and on isolated rodent neurons, the importance of cell-cell interactions in the brain mandates that disease pathogenesis in vitro be approached in a culture system that recapitulates the type and proportion of cells normally found in brain such as neurons, astrocytes, and macrophages/microglia.
- the model used in the assays described below i.e., rat cerebrocortical cultures, was prepared from embryos of Sprague-Dawley rats at day 15 to 17 of gestation. See Lei et al., Neuron 8:1087-1099 (1992) and Lipton et al., Nature 364:626-632 (1993). Cultures were used for experiments after 17 to 24 days in culture. These cultures contain neurons, astrocytes, and macrophages/microglia, as determined with specific immunolabeling.
- TKP was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo.). Recombinant human MIP-1 ⁇ , SDF-1 ⁇ , SDF-1 ⁇ , and recombinant rat RANTES were purchased from R&D systems (Minneapolis, Wis.) and Endogen (Woburn, Mass.), respectively.
- HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 from the strain SF2 was obtained from the NIH AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program, Division of AIDS, NIAID, NIH. See Scandella et al., AIDS Res. Hum. Retroviruses 9:1233-1244 (1993). Additional gp120s from HIV-1 strains IIIB and RF2 were obtained from Genetech and the National Cancer Institute, respectively. TNF ⁇ , IFN ⁇ , and IL-1 ⁇ were from Genzyme (Cambridge, Mass.), Gibco BRL (Grand Island, N.Y.) and Endogen (Woburn, Mass.), respectively.
- Neuronal apoptosis in the above-described assays was assessed using a variety of techniques, e.g., staining of permeabilized cells with propidium iodide to determine apoptotic morphology, and a neuron-specific antibody (against NeuN or MAP-2) to identify cell type.
- a neuron-specific antibody againstst NeuN or MAP-2
- cells were fixed for 5 minutes with ice-cold acetone at ⁇ 20° C. and, after three washes in PBS, for 4 minutes with 2% (w/v) paraformaldehyde solution in PBS at room temperature (RT).
- Acetone-paraformaldehyde-fixed cells were permeabilized using 0.2% Tween 20 in PBS (PBST), and non-specific binding sites were blocked by incubation for 1 hour with a 10% solution of heat-inactivated goat serum in PBST. To specifically stain neurons, cells were then incubated for 4 hours at RT or overnight at 4° C. with 1:500 dilutions of anti-MAP-2 (Sigma) or anti-NeuN monoclonal antibody (mAb; Chemicon, Temecula, Calif.). Their respective non-specific isotype antibodies served as controls.
- pAb secondary polyclonal antibody conjugated either to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) or to horseradish peroxidase (HRP).
- FITC fluorescein isothiocyanate
- HRP horseradish peroxidase
- DAB diaminobenzidine
- Cellular nuclei were subsequently stained with 20 mg/ml propidium iodide for 5 minutes in the dark, and then coverslips were mounted on glass slides. Experiments were replicated at least 3 times with triplicate values in each experiment. Statistical significance was judged by an analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a Scheffé or Bonferroni/Dunn post hoc test.
- ANOVA analysis of variance
- ⁇ -chemokines Abrogate gp120-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis: ⁇ -Chemokines Induce Neuronal Apoptosis
- MIP-1 ⁇ and RANTES inhibit the neurotoxic effect of gp120SF2 in an indirect manner since RANTES binds to the ⁇ -chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR3, and CCR5, and MIP-1 ⁇ binds CCR5 (or a functional rat homologue), whereas gp120SF2 (and SDF-1 ⁇ / ⁇ ) interact with the ⁇ -chemokine receptor CXCR4. Note that although gp120SF2 may also interact to a lesser degree with the ⁇ -chemokine receptor CCR5 on some transfected cell lines, this has not been shown to occur on primary cells, as used here.
- rodent cerebrocortical cultures are a suitable model system to study these actions of gp120 since these species express CXCR4 homologues which, like the human CXCR4, are capable of mediating HIV-1 infection via gp120 binding.
- TKP macrophage inhibitory tripeptide Thr-Lys-Pro
- TKP 50 ⁇ M protected neurons from gp120-induced apoptosis. See FIG. 3(A). In contrast, SDF-1 ⁇ -induced neuronal apoptosis was not abrogated by TKP. See FIG. 3(B).
- TKP exerted its inhibitory effect specifically on macrophages/microglia, and not on astrocytes or neurons.
- TKP did not inhibit NO release by cytokine-activated astrocytes. See FIG. 4(C), and TKP did not interfere with NMDA-induced neuronal apoptosis.
- HIV-1 infected cells in the brain are relatively small, and productively infected cells are exclusively of monocytoid lineage. See Lipton and Gendelman, N. Engl. J. Med. 332:934-940 (1995). This suggests that HIV-1 initiates a neurodegenerative process that entails amplification to produce pronounced CNS injury. Indeed, in culture systems of both rodent and human brain, HIV-1 infected or gp120-stimulated macrophages and microglia have been found to release neurotoxins that contribute to the neurodegenerative process, at least in part, by excessive stimulation of the NMDA subtype of glutamate receptor.
- gp120-transgenic mice manifest neuronal damage resembling that found both in rodent cultures and in human brain with HIV-associated dementia indicates that, even in the absence of intact HIV-1, a fragment of the virus is sufficient to trigger important aspects of this amplification cascade in the neurodegenerative process in our in vitro system, which therefore has relevance to in vivo pathogenicity.
- SB 203580 substantially attenuated gp120SF2-induced neuronal apoptosis. See FIG. 4(A). This supports the conclusion that the p38 MAPK pathway is involved in the gp120-activated death signaling. Inhibition of p38 MAPK also ameliorated SDF-1 neurotoxicity. See FIG. 4(B). This indicates that the neurotoxic processes initiated by both gp120SF2 and SDF-1 use the common MAPK signaling pathway which involves p38 MAPK. Since SDF-1-induced neurotoxicity occurs in the virtual absence of macrophages/microglia, p38 MAPK must be activated as a stress response in neurons or astrocytes.

- These p38 MAPK inhibitors can be prepared by a number of different methods.
- these inhibitors can be prepared by Fisher indole synthesis as described in Henry et al., Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 8:3335-40 (1998). See also Gallagher et al., Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 5(1):49-64 (1997) and Henry et al., J. Med. Chem. 22:4196-8 (1998).
- RGCs retinal ganglion cells
- Fluoro-GoldTM i.e., hydroxystilbamidine
- RGC density as assessed by the number of fluorescently-labeled cells, began to decline between 4 and 7 days post axotomy. By 14 days, a substantial number of fluorescently-labeled RGCs appeared to have been lost. Morphologically, in whole-mounted retinas stained with cresyl violet, ganglion cell layer (GCL) of unlesioned control retinas manifest no apoptotic profiles or pyknotic nuclei. In contrast, by 10 days after axotomy, multiple degenerating cell bodies with pyknotic nuclei were apparent in the GCL, and the cell density in this layer appeared to be greatly diminished.
- SB203580 increased the number of surviving RGCs in a dose-dependent manner. See FIG. 6. A significant degree of neuroprotection was observed after injection of as little as 0.2 nmol of SB203580, corresponding to an intravitreal concentration of 1.6 ⁇ M, given the volume of the rat vitreous has been reported to be ⁇ 120 ⁇ l. SB 203580 (10 nmol) increased the number of surviving RGCs from 348 to 1,347 cells/mm 2 14 days post axotomy (control: 2,511 cells/mm 2 ).
- MK801 was injected into the vitreous in the same manner as SB 203580. Referring to FIG. 8, MK801 not only increased the number of surviving RGCs 14 days post axotomy, but also inhibited p38 phosphorylation/activation in a dose-dependent manner. The addition of SB 203580 to MK801 did not offer further protection above that of MK801 alone in this paradigm.
- Retrograde labeling of retinal ganglion cells Adult male Long-Evans rats weighing 200 to 250 g were obtained from a local breeder and, for all experimental manipulations, were anesthetized with 1-2% isoflurane and 70% N 2 O. RGCs were retrogradely labeled with hydroxystilbamidine (Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oreg., also known as Fluoro-GoldTM) to allow accurate counting of cell bodies as described in Vortechnik et al., Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 40:813-816. Rats were anesthetized and placed in a small stereotactic instrument. The skull was exposed and kept dry.
- bregma was identified and marked, and a small window was drilled above the right hemisphere, leaving the dura intact.
- hydroxystilbamidine solution was injected into four (4) regions of the right superior colliculus using the following coordinates from the bregma (anterior-posterior; medio-lateral; depth, all listed in mm): (1) ⁇ 5.8, +1.0, ⁇ 4.4; (2) ⁇ 6.5, +0.7, ⁇ 4.0; (3) ⁇ 6.5, +1.0, ⁇ 4.0; and (4) ⁇ 7.3, +1.5, ⁇ 3.7.
- Optic nerve axotomy was performed on the left eye 4 days after retrograde labeling. After incision of the dorsolateral conjunctiva, the lateral extraocular muscle was transected, and the optic nerve was exposed under a stereoscopic microscope. The optic nerve was then transected at a distance of about 1 mm from the eye bulb. During the operation, care was taken to avoid damage to the retinal blood supply.
- Intravitreal injections were carried out using a 33-gauge needle attached to a 25 ⁇ l syringe following pupil dilation with 1% atropine sulfate. The tip of the needle was inserted through the dorsal limbus of the eye under stereomicroscopic visualization. Injections were completed over a period of 1 min. Intravitreal injections of SB 203580 (Calbiochem, San Diego, Calif.), MK801 (Research Biochemicals International, Natick, Mass.) or control solutions (as an equal volume of saline diluent) were performed on operated eyes immediately after axotomy, and repeated 5 and 10 days post axotomy.
- the number of surviving RGCs in experimental and control retinas was determined by counting hydroxystilbamidine-labeled neurons in three standard areas of each retinal quadrant at one-sixth, one-half and five-sixths of the retinal radius, for a total area of 2.25 mm 2 as described in Kermer et al., J Neurosci 18:4656-4662 (1998).
- Statistical significance of the data was determined by an analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a post-hoc Dunnett's test. For the histological studies, retinal whole mounts were prepared and stained by the method of Nissl using cresyl violet (0.1%).
- sections were treated for 30 min at room temperature with methanol to increase membrane permeability, followed by 4% hydrogen peroxide for 1 hr to block intrinsic peroxidase activity. Then, sections were incubated with 20% normal goat serum (NGS) for 1 hr. After rinsing, the sections were incubated overnight at 4° C. in PBS with 0.3 % Triton-X 100, 1% NGS, and one of the following specific antibodies: 1:1000 anti-p38 ⁇ antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, Calif.), 1:250 anti-phospho-specific p38 (New England BioLabs Inc., Beverly, Mass.), or 1:50 anti-rat ED1 antibody (Serotech, UK).
- NGS normal goat serum
- the sections were then incubated with biotinylated anti-IgG (Sigma Immunochemicals) for 2 hr at room temperature. Color development was performed with a Vector AEC substrate kit (Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, Calif.) or with a Sigma Fast DAB kit. When immunoreactivity was exclusively localized to the nucleus, counterstaining was needed to define the cell somata, and Meyer Hematoxylin was used.
- biotinylated anti-IgG Sigma Immunochemicals
- the membranes were then blocked with 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 137 mM NaCl, 2.68 mM KCl and 0.1% Tween 20 containing 5% nonfat milk for 1 hr at room temperature.
- Membranes were probed with 1:1500 anti-p38 ⁇ antibody, 1:200 anti-p38 ⁇ antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), or 1:500 anti-phospho-specific p38 according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
- the antibody-reactive bands were visualized by chemiluminescent detection (ECL western detection kit, Amercham Pharmacia Biotech UK, Limited).
- Retinal cell cultures Retinal cells were prepared from 6-10 day old Long-Evans rats as described in Leifer et al., Science 224:303-306 (1984). Briefly, following dissociation in papain, retinal cells were plated on poly-L-lysine-coated glass coverslips in Eagle's minimum essential medium. RGCs were identified by immunocytochemical staining using an anti-Thy-1 antibody (2G12), which is specific among rat retinal cells for the ganglion cells.
- 2G12 anti-Thy-1 antibody
- retinal cells were fixed, permeabilized and stained with 20 ⁇ g/ml propidium iodide for 5 min, as described in Ankarcrona et al., Neuron 15:961-973 (1995). Briefly, coverslips containing the cells were washed once with PBS and permeabilized with 85% methanol for 10 min. After another wash with PBS, coverslips were fixed in acetone for 5 min and subsequently stained with propidium iodide for 5 min in the dark. The coverslips were then mounted on glass slides in glycerol:PBS (1:1), and visualized under epifluorescence microscopy. Apoptotic nuclei were scored in cells that were also stained by anti-Thy-1, and expressed as a fraction of total RGCs.
- disorders or diseases can also be treated according to the present invention: neurological disorders related to excessive activation of excitatory amino acid receptors or the generation of free radicals in the brain which cause nitrosative or oxidative stress, including stroke (e.g., cerebral ischemia and hypoxia-ischemia), hypoglycemia, domoic acid poisoning (from contaminated mussels), anoxia, carbon monoxide or manganese or cyanide poisoning, CNS infections such as meningitis, dementia (particularly HIV-mediated dementia) and neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, head and spinal cord trauma, epilepsy (e.g., seizures and convulsions), olivopontocerebellar atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, meningitis, multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases, neuropathic pain (painful peripheral neuropathy, such as diabetic neuropathy and HIV-related neuropathy), mitochondrial diseases (e.g., MERRF
- the p38 MAPK inhibitor may be included in a pharmaceutical preparation, using a pharmaceutical carrier (e.g., physiological saline); the exact formulation of the therapeutic mixture depends upon the route of administration, e.g., orally, parenterally (intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous), intravitreally, topically instilled into the eye, intracerebroventricularly, or intrathecally.
- a pharmaceutical carrier e.g., physiological saline
- parenterally intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous
- intravitreally topically instilled into the eye, intracerebroventricularly, or intrathecally.
- parenteral dosage forms include aqueous solutions of the active agent, in a isotonic saline, 5% glucose or other well-known pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
- Solubilizing agents such as cyclodextrins, or other solubilizing agents well-known to those familiar with the art, can be utilized as pharmaceutical excipients for delivery of the therapeutic compounds.
- the p38 MAPK inhibitor composition can be formulated in a capsule, a gel seal or a tablet.
- Capsules may comprise any standard pharmaceutically acceptable material such as gelatin or a cellulose derivative.
- Tablets may be formulated in accordance with the conventional procedure by compressing mixtures of the p38 MAPK inhibitors and a solid carrier, and a lubricant.
- solid carriers include starch and sugar bentonite.
- the p38 MAPK inhibitor can also be administered in a form of a hard shell tablet or capsule containing, for example, lactose or mannitol as a binder and a conventional filler and a tableting agent.
- topical formulations can be used and can include ophthalmoligically acceptable preservatives, surfactants viscosity enhancers, buffers, sodium chloride, and water to form a sterile ophthalmic solutions and suspension.
- An effective amount of a p38 MAPK inhibitor is defined as the amount of the compound which, upon administration to a patient in need, confers a therapeutic effect on the treated patient.
- the effective amount to be administered to a patient is typically based on age, surface area, weight, and condition of the patient. The interrelationship of dosages for animals and humans (based on milligrams per meter squared of body surface) is described by Freireich et al., Cancer Chemother. Rep. 1966, 50, 219. Body surface area may be approximately determined from height and weight of the patient. See, e.g., Scientific Tables, Geigy Pharmaceuticals, Ardley, New York, 1970, 537.
- An effective amount of a p38 MAPK inhibitor can range from about 1-10,000 mg/kg (e.g., about 1-500 mg/kg). Effective doses will also vary, as recognized by those skilled in the art, dependant on route of administration, excipient usage, and the possibility of co-usage with other therapeutic treatments.
